Stronger Cheaper DIY Sand Drum

Sand drum is basically used to grind different materials or you can say to smooth a material.

For this DIY Tech you will require the following

• Sand paper 100 grit ( to smooth the wheel )
• Sand paper x grit ( Where x is your choice yes you can make the drum to be of any grit )
• Scissors
• pliers
• A dc fan blade ( Pretty much any pc fan will do )
• Super glue
• A dremel or rotatory tool like drill
• Tissue paper or a cloth to clean

*Grit is like the smoothness of a sand paper larger the number, smoother is the sand paper.

1. Break the fan blades with the help of pliers
2. Put the left wheel like structure in a drill
3. Using the 100 grit paper smooth the outer cylinder
4. Cut a piece of sand paper to cover the outer cylinder of the wheel
5. Glue it on n thats it

Pros

• Cheap
• Really easy to make
• Long lasting ( once the sander paper is finished you can apply a new layer of sand paper on it using glue #newlife )
• Close to zero vibration ( thats the reason to use PC fan as it is very accurately made and doesn't wobble or vibrate while rotating )

Cons

• A lil big in diameter so might not get into smaller places.

* You can take out the magnet and the metal ring that is inside that fan blade. I kept it as its of no use to me at the moment and its keeping the wheel strong as well.
